“Making sure the atmosphere is right sends a clear message to the diner that there is a strong passion for the food, quality of service and overall dining experience.

“The idea behind this restaurant is to create an environment where diners can have a good time and enjoy traditional Italian favourites at any time of the day and where people can go for some nice food and a nice bottle of wine in a relaxed and affordable setting.

“We want customers to come here and make their visit as formal or informal, expensive or inexpensive as they wish. That’s what Marco’s New York Italian is all about.”
